X-chromosomal STRs for genetic composition analysis of Guizhou Dong group and its phylogenetic relationships with other reference populations
No full textX-chromosomes show a specific genetic mode, which makes genetic markers on the X-chromosome play crucial roles in forensic research and human evolution. Dong group, one of 55 minority groups in China, live in Guizhou, Guangxi, and Hunan provinces. Even though some genetic data of Y chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) and autosomal insertion/deletion polymorphism (InDels) in Dong groups have been reported, there is little research about X-STRs in the Dong group. Purposes of this study are to investigate allelic distributions and forensic statistical parameters of 19 X-STRs in the Guizhou Dong group, and explore the genetic composition of the Guizhou Dong group and its phylogenetic relationships with other reference populations. Five hundred and seven Dongs (272 males and 235 females) living in Guizhou province were typed using the AGCU X19 STR kit. Allelic frequencies and forensic parameters of 19 X-STRs in the Guizhou Dong group were calculated. Population genetic analyses of Guizhou Dong and another 17 reference populations were conducted using DA genetic distances, phylogenetic tree, principal component analysis, and multidimensional scaling. A total of 230 alleles of 19 X-STRs were identified in all Dongs. The frequencies of 19 loci ranged from 0.0013 to 0.6838. The values for cumulative power of discrimination in males (PDM), cumulative power of discrimination in females (PDF), and four different kinds of mean exclusion chance (MEC_Kruger, MEC_Kishida, MEC_Desmarais, and MEC_Desmarais_du) for the 19 X-STRs in all individuals were 0.999999999999761, 0.9999999999999999999993951, 0.999999964841617, 0.999999999997261, 0.999999999997297, and 0.999999993623172, respectively. Besides, genetic polymorphisms of seven linkage clusters ranged from 0.9381 to 0.9963. In addition, these seven groups showed high polymorphism information content (PIC), PDM, PDF, MEC_Kruger, MEC_Kishida, MEC_Desmarais, and MEC_Desmarais_duo. Population genetic analyses of Guizhou Dong and another 17 reference populations showed that the Guizhou Dong group had close genetic relationships with surrounding Tai–Kadai-speaking, Hmong-Mien-speaking, and Han groups. Nineteen X-STRs displayed high genetic diversities and could be employed for forensic personal identification and paternity analysis in the Guizhou Dong group. Close genetic affinities between Guizhou Dong and surrounding populations were observed based on the 19 X-STRs in 17 reference populations.</p
Traces and shards of self-injury: Strange accounting with “Author X”
No full textIn this strange account autoethnography, three or four authors explore their lived experiences with self-injury. Strange accounting is both a post-modern style of text, and a method for keeping identities concealed when risks and secrets are in play. Author X, a post-modern place-keeper for an anonymous author who may or may not have contributed to this manuscript, introduces a new dimension and layer of concealment. With Author X in-play and under erasure, the reader will never be sure if there were three or four authors on this manuscript. Through strange accounting, a post-structuralist/postmodernist frame will be applied to understanding the self-injury experience. We frame self-injury as a social practice and, for some, an everyday norm, while remaining acutely aware of the stigma surrounding the topic of self-injury. Each of us, coupled with Author X, provide the others cover to trace stories of self-injury through the literature, our flesh, and our lives

Dong Qichang, Calligraphy in Running Script
No full textDecorated fan, ink on paperDimensions: 19.7 x 60 cm; mounting 33 x 62.6 cmCalligraphy: 晨飛積雪，途間失地。萬里山門，撥煙霞而進影。百重寒暑，躡霜雨而前踪。誠重勞輕，求深願達。火宅之光焰，共拔迷途。朗愛水之昏波，同臻彼岸。Inscription: 其昌為增琪兄臨
Translation: Qichang copied (this piece) for Zengqi.Seal: 伊武心賞 Yiwu xinshang (Treasured by Yiwu); 翫涼珍賞 Wanliang zhenshang (Treasured and appreciated by Wanliang)Dong Qichang (1555-1636, alternate name 玄宰 Xuanzai, 思翁 Siweng), was a Chinese painter, calligrapher, connoisseur, art theoretician, collector and high official of the late Ming Dynasty. When Dong Qichang first began to study calligraphy, he emulated rubbings from the Tang period (618-907) as well as the calligraphy of Yan Zhenqing (709-785) and Yushinan (558-638). Soon after realizing the superior merits of earlier calligraphers, he turned to the works of Zhong You (151-230) and Wang Xizhi (303-361).
Dong Qichang is famous for his theory of Chinese painting. He divided the artists of the past into two lineages: the Northern school and the Southern school.The Northern school had its beginning in the blue-and green style with dependence on years of training, and included artist Li Sixun (651-716). The Southern school emphasized intuitive understanding and inborn talent, beginning with Wang Wei and being developed by Dong Yuan and the Four Yuan Masters. Dong Qichang's ideas on art have influenced Chinese painting profoundly.
The calligraphy on the decorated fan is executed in running script. The entire piece presents a fluidity of brushwork. The artist chose to write six characters in a line and then changed it to two characters in a line. Although this writing composition does not follow the punctuation, it creates a balance and rhythm that adapts to the fan shape. The text in this work is selected phrases from "Datang Sanzang Shengjiao xu" 大唐三藏聖教序. The "Datang Sanzang Shengjiao xu" is a preface of the Heart Sutra. The Heart Sutra was translated by Xuanzang (玄奘, ca. 602-664) from Sanskrit to Chinese. The preface was composed by the Tang Emperor Taizong (598-649) in honor of Xuanzang's achievement in studying and teaching Buddhism. The Tang calligrapher, Chu Suiliang (褚遂良, 597-658), wrote the Emperor's text and it was then transcribed to a stele. Because of the widespread admiration for the earlier calligrapher Wang Xizhi during the Taizong reign, the monk Huairen 懷仁 (active late 7th century) collected characters from Wang Xizhi's writings over a period of two decades and pieced them together. As a result, a stele of Taizong's preface with Wang Xizhi's writing was created. It was often studied by later scholars. Since Dong Qichang spent great effort in studying Wang Xizhi's work, this piece may well be modeled after the version in Wang Xizhi's hand
Dong Zuobin, Couplet in Oracle Bone Script
No full textHanging scrolls, ink on paperDimension: callgraphy 135.25 x 20.1 cm; mounting 169.5 x 28.5 cmDong Zuobin (1895-1963) was best known as an archaeologist. Born in Nanyang, He’nan Province, he was one of the so-called “Four Scholars of the Oracle Bones,” and worked at various archaeological sites in China over his long career. Like many scholars, in addition to his research on oracle bones he also practiced calligraphy and copied the oracle bone script. In addition to his academic success, Dong Zuobin navigated the complex Chinese political landscape during periods of great change throughout his life.
Oracle Bone script is an ancient Chinese writing system, with examples coming from as early as the 14th century BC. These characters were found written in animal bones or turtle shells used in divination. Although the characters appear pictorial, it is very functional and has thousands of characters. Using the oracle bone script in calligraphy may be a reference to scholarship or antiquity

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
